how do I find out which of my several dozen cloud platform services/apps is affected?  I've been hunting for hours...

(I'm 99% sure it's an expired credit card)

thanks,
adam

The App Engine billing is messed up (I really think they just merged the code from the Google Wallet tested on Google I/O 2013 registration to the App Engine billing system).

I'm having the same problem. I keep getting emails from Google saying that the charge is declined by the bank. The billing history shows the charge was attempted and then cancelled.
The bank says the charge was never attempted based on their records.
When I used the same card to pay through Google Wallet, the first attempt did not succeed, but the second one did.
I'm just worried that the application will be disabled if this is not sorted out on time.

I have received a similar message about 10 ago.  

Google,
Please provide help or resend the message with more details and which for which services my payment was declined.

I understand the current email is confusing - sorry about it. We are working with our billing backend to open up some constraint to fix this. 
Meanwhile, please use the billing support form and our support team can find out the details for you: https://support.google.com/code/bin/request.py?contact_type=cloud_platform_billing 

Thanks,
Rae
